Situated between Kanaha and Baldwin Beach Parks (and a tack from Camp One), our lovely rental suite offers vacationers of all types the perfect place to enjoy the aloha of Maui....and the perfect place to relax. A beautiful soft sand shore line make for the perfect launch or swim site. Many reef formations afford the intermediate and expert windsurfers and kiters plenty of 'air time' opportunities!

The apartment is completely self contained with it's own private entrance. A full size Queen bedroom, bright and clean bathroom and spacious living room are features of our vacation rental suite. A special and unique feature of the suite is the fabulous collection of original artworks by famous local artist, Ray Masters, adorning the walls of the suite and under house lounge area.

Maui's North Shore is regarded as the quieter side of the island. But don't let this sentiment fool you. In addition to all of the usual outdoor activities, the area surrounding us boasts some of the best dining, entertainment and shopping on Maui. The picturesque old town of Paia is just minutes drive from us and offers an eclectic mix of dining, bars, general stores, boutiques and gift shops. Equally nearby is Kahului which features the Queen Ka'ahumanu Center shopping mall, lots of restaurants and many of the usual stores found on the mainland.

Why The Owner chose Paia

This is paradise and to be able to live and have a business in such a place is beyond a dream. We have a beautiful home on one of the most unique and friendly streets and beach in Hawaii. I am an avid windsurfer and surfer and this is one of the best places in the world to enjoy those sports. Being able to offer our clients a unique vacation experience with all of the aloha, beauty and relaxation we would want in a vacation ourselves.

What makes this house unique

Direct access along our short private path to one of Maui's most beautiful beaches. One of the most famous places to windsurf in the world. The best sailors in the pro tour come to this beach to relax and practice and have fun. Private road with just a few homes. Large private garden with under house lanai offering lots of space to chill, bbq, play lawn games. Just one rental unit means a very private and relaxed atmosphere.

Our number one choice on Maui!

My husband and I absolutely love our time at Friendly Beach! This was not our first time at Ray and Viv's, nor will it be our last. As always, the private beach was magical... Quiet, beautiful and serene. It is a treat to have such a lovely beach just steps away. We were greatly impressed by the renovations to the kitchen and bathroom, which bring this rental to the next level. And, if I am not mistaken, there is a new bed as well. I haven't slept that comfortably in years (and not just because we could hear the sounds of the ocean drifting up to our unit). We always appreciate the fabulous location. It is less than 10 minutes to Paia town, where we could shop and choose from numerous restaurants. Paia also has a great natural foods market, which I love. All that said, I think what makes Ray and Viv's place so special is Ray and Viv! Unlike many vacation rentals where the owner is nowhere to be found, Ray and Viv are always there when you need them. If you want total privacy, it is yours. But, if you want advice on where to go and what to see on Maui, they are incredibly knowledgable. They are friendly and open... We were even invited for dinner one evening! Mahalo for your kindness and hospitality. We'll see you next time!

Owner's Response: It's always great having guests return. And you certainly have done that...many times :-) It feels like a family visit when you're here. Really stoked you liked the remodel and upgrades. We spent a lot of money and time trying to get it right for our guests, as each has different tastes and needs. We think the place looks and feels really great and we are thankful that it met with your obvious approval. We look forward to your next visit....especially Sevin who loved swimming with you every day. And Vali who misses her cuddles! Much aloha to you both!

Perfect vacation on Mauis Nortshore

The location on Mauis Nortshore is excellent: on a very nice little beach with possibilities of swimming, Paddleboarding and even windsurfing or kiting. Because there is no public beach access we shared the beach only with the people living there - therefor it was never busy. Thoug the house is not on the beachfront itself and is located in second row, we loved the very closeness to the beach. Distances to the cool and nice little town Paia (for buying food, shopping or going out for dinner) or to the Kanaha Beach Park (for Windsurfing or Kiting on the best waves ever) are very short.

The appartement itself has an outstanding terrasse (the whole appartement is on the First floor) with fantastic views where you can just sit for hours and enjoy the moment.

Ray and Vivienne are very helpful - Ray gave us many good advices regarding our Maui Trips. Especially his recomendations for our Hanatour were just fantastic.

We had a wonderful stay - thanx Ray and Vivienne - Mahalo

Owner's Response: It was great having you here. We so enjoyed your enjoyment! That you chose to spend your honeymoon at Friendly Beach was a real honor. We love showing our clients the beauty that is Maui. Thank you for your kind words. Much aloha to you both!

Awesome!!!!

We had a wonderful stay with Ray and Vivienne at their beautiful guest suite on Friendly Beach. My wife, our 8 year old daughter and I greatly enjoyed morning beach walks and swims before the wind cranked up for numerous unforgettable windsurfing experiences from the perfect launch. It was great to get to know our hosts - as well as Sevin the water dog (amazing). Thank you Ray and Viv for making our stay so wonderful and hope to visit again as soon as possible!

Real Hawaii and heaven for windsurfers

We had a lovely week here. Modern comfortable unit. Perfect spot for windsurfing. My husband was in heaven. I went for a lovely beach walk each morning. We hired a car and there are many day trips to do from here. Paia has nice eateries (cage amis and paia bowl our favourites). Nice walk in forest in makawao if need to get out of heat. Whole foods awesome.

Beautiful Property

The property was beautiful and the beach was amazing. Locals all over the island said this area was prime for it's beach. We loved the stay and would recommend it. Ray was super inviting and we enjoyed all the art work.

Best family/windsurf vacation ever!

I was looking for a place where I could windsurf and my family would also enjoy. I contacted Ray with some questions, he responded promptly and we booked. We arrived on Maui, got our car and gear and showed up at Friendly beach. The property was more amazing than we expected! We were greeted by Vivienne who showed us around the property and our rental. The house is impeccable, up to date and tastefully decorated with an awesome private deck. Ray's art is superb! The beach is just perfect and only a few steps away. I was able to keep my gear rigged and just walked up the pathway to the beach. Not only is the beach and property perfect for windsurfing, it was also a big hit with my wife and 7 year old. Ray, Vivienne and Sevin are super friendly and amazing hosts. We couldn't have had a more perfect vacation and just trying to figure out how to get back there ASAP!
